Better browsing from Microsoft

[Nuxxy]

Quite frankly I found my FireFox 3 experience disappointing. I really can't see what all the fuss is about. So I'm back to Avant Browser. So much faster.

I wish I didn't have to, but when you design websites you have to make sure they look the same, or at least decent, in all browsers.

If, for your work, you have to install it, the easiest way imho is to use FF and IE Tab (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1419)
Then, even though you're forced to develop for IE users, you can at least use FF as your browser, but IE as the rendering engine.

i also found firefox 3 disappointing, opera has too much features and it slows my pc down. IE is good , it is fast , and you can stumble much better than on Firefox

on IE i can download youtube videos using the the realplayer add on but with firefox 3 it is not compatible and i have to use the youtube downloader to download the video.

To download youtube clips in linux (or any other flash video for that matter) go to your /tmp directory after watching the video and copy it to any location. The clips' file name usually starts with an "F" followed my random alpha numerics with no file extention. In ubuntu it's easy to recognize coz it'll show a lil thumbnail of the clip.

IE8 will be a wonderful success.....just like Vista!

at least you crash in style!

But if IE becomes the standard again...really why not.

No one browser should ever be the standard - all should render to standards. As a web designer I don't have to worry about my site looking differnet in everybody's browser, and everybody can use the browser they're most comfortable with.

Good luck finding the .deb

(Actually, for some reason ies4linux won't install on my current installation. If I cared, I'd spent more time figuring it out - but I don't.)

How can one uninstall IE 8 Beta in Win XP?

It isn't listed under add or remove programs?

I tried it but hate the fact that you can't see if it's actually working - no animation when you click a link, sometimes causing you to click it again to make sure... reload... that really sucked for me.
